Ireland–Mexico relations refer to relations between Ireland and Mexico. The relationship has been often associated with the Irish migration to Mexico. Both nations are members of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, United Nations and World Trade Organization. ==History== During Spanish colonization of Mexico, several Spanish Viceroy's were of Irish descent such as Juan O'Donojú who was the last Spanish Viceroy.〔(History of Juan O'Donojú (Spanish) )〕 Since Mexican independence, many Irish have immigrated to Mexico and have contributed to its culture and development.〔(The Irish in Mexico (Spanish) )〕 During the Mexican–American War (1846–1848), many Irish immigrants in the United States abandoned their posts and joined Mexican forces because of what they felt was discrimination and persecution of their Catholic faith by non-Catholic Americans.〔(The Irish Soldiers of Mexico )〕 One of the most popular Irish battalions during the war was that of the St. Patrick's Battalion which fought on the Mexican side during the Battle of Buena Vista and Battle of Churubusco in 1847, among others.〔(The Irish heroes of Mexico )〕 On 10 January 1974, both nations established diplomatic relations.〔(History of bilateral relations between Mexico and Ireland (Spanish) )〕 At first, Mexico was accredited to Ireland from its embassy in London and Ireland was accredited to Mexico from its embassy in Washington, DC. In 1990, both nations agreed to open resident diplomatic missions and in June 1991, Mexico opened its embassy on Raglan Road, Dublin and Ireland followed suit by opening its embassy in Mexico City in September 1999.〔 The Irish and Mexican presidents Michael D. Higgins and Enrique Peña Nieto held a bilateral meeting in Rome on 20 March 2013, the day after the papal inauguration of Pope Francis. Peña Nieto invited Higgins to visit Mexico,〔(Reuniones bilaterales del Presidente Peña Nieto en Roma ) México: Presidencia de la República, 2013-03-20. 〕 and the Irish president began a four-day official visit on 19 October 2013 as part of a three-nation trip to Central America.〔(President Higgins makes Official Visits to Mexico, El Salvador And Costa Rica ) Áras an Uachtaráin, 2013-10-18.〕〔(Irish President Visits Mexico, El Salvador, and Costa Rica ) The Costa Rica News, 2013-10-18.〕 In 2015, both nations celebrated 40 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations between both countries. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ireland–Mexico relations」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
